Tribals threaten to evict Tibetan settlers

BERHAMPUR: A tribal outfit has demanded the eviction of Tibetan settlers in Gajapati district's Chandragiri area.

The CPM-backed Adivasi Dalit Vikas Samiti said the government must return lands in the settlement area to landless tribals. The district administration has ordered a survey to demarcate plots allotted to the Tibetans by the government.

"We demand the administration to expedite the survey," said CPM's Gajapati district unit secretary L Ramgopal Rao. He threatened that tribals who possessed pattas (deeds) would forcibly cultivate the land, which was "illegally possessed" by the settlers.

Alarmed over the development, the district administration recently convened a meeting between CPM leaders and Tibetan representatives. "We have appealed to both sides to maintain peace. At the same time, we have also ordered a survey to demarcate lands allotted to the Tibetans," said district collector RP Singh.

On their part, the settlers have adopted a soft approach to diffuse tension. "We assured the district collector to voluntarily vacate the land if any encroachment is found after the survey," said chairman of the local Tibetan settlement Khenpo Pema Tenphel. "We are a peace-loving community and have been maintaining harmony with the local people since we settled here," he added. The issue was also discussed during the recent visit of the home minister of the Tibetan government in-exile Gyalri Dolma, who reportedly advised his countrymen to coexist with the local people in peaceful manner.

Interestingly, neither the settlement leaders nor the district administration have the records of exact population of Tibetan settlers and the land allotted to them at the time of their first settlement. "Since they were settled during the time when the district was in undivided Ganjam, we think the old records are in Ganjam district," said an official.
